    Hello :D

    My name is Whitney. I joined this forum in hopes to be pointed in the right direction to finding my husband a multicam kilt.
    My husband, Garth, is in the United States Army and is scheduled to return to the states (we're stationed at Ft. Campbell) very soon from a year long deployment to Afghanistan.
    We are attending the highland games at Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina, and while I have attended many times this is his first. He is starting to get very excited about it and mentioned that he would love to have a multicam kilt.
    If anyone could please help point me in the right direction I would love to be able to surprise him with one! Thank you all so much.

    Hello whilands,

    Welcome to XMarks from the other side of the Atlantic in Norfolk, England.

    I have never heard of a multicam kilt - are they known by any other name?

    Regards

    Chas

    from Oklhoma City!

    I doubt you will be able to get your hands on the multicam pattern.

    (fyi, for those who do not know...the multicam is the newest version of camoflague being used by the US Army. It's newer than the ACU version they have been wearing for the previous years and are seen wearing within the U.S. right now.)

    Because it is being issued as the soldiers go into the area of operations, I would bet there is not excess lying about at the local fabric stores. That said, I bet you could find a commercial version that looks nearly identical by looking at the fabric shops. There are a few military guys on here that have more than one camoflage patterned kilt. Hopefully they will weigh in here...

    Whilands,

    First, greetings from Texas, welcome to the Forum, and tell your husband "Welcome Home".

    SportKilt offers a kilt in multicam. Here's a link.

    http://www.sportkilt.com/product/9432/MultiCam.html

    You should be able to get one relatively easily and in time for his homecoming. If you have more questions about what style to get, accessories, etc, please don't hesitate to ask. Everyone here is most helpful.

When they fight for freedom I will lead them. When they are unsteady on the battlefield I will motivate them. If they die on the battlefield I will bury them. So help me God."

    Whitney,

    Welcome. Please tell Garth "Thank you" for his service to our country. We appreciate his (and your) sacrifice. May the Good Lord protect him.

    While I have not bought a kilt from Sport Kilt, my brother purchased one for the pastor in his son's upcoming wedding and is satisfied with its look and quality. I have purchased other items from Sport Kilt and have been pleased with both their products and service. I think it would be a good choice, especially for a first kilt, and would be a great surprise.

    I hope you both have a great time at the games.

    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
